thread needle- take ahold of the end you put through the eye- pull it down 3 or 4 inches=
poke the end (same end you put through in the first place) back through the eye, forming a loop.
dip the tip of the needle down through that loop and pull tight. now you have your needle threaded with a tail by the eye of a couple inches- your needle will not fall off your thread.
i had to learn to do this when i started using silk threads- they are so smooth and thin it is the only way to keep your needle threaded :thumbup:
Isn't it difficult to get the thread end back through the eye with the thread already in there?
I want to try this!
